GRUYèRE AND BLACK PEPPER SCONES
A generous amount of Gruyère and toasty walnuts give these scones a savory richness, which is surprising and delicious. The little cubes of cheese melt into the dough as it bakes, but some sneak out the sides, creating irresistible bits of fricolike crispy cheese. To make the most of your time, you can toast the walnuts on a sheet pan in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes while it's heating, just until they're golden and fragrant. Chives freshen up the mix, but chopped fresh thyme or rosemary would work well, too. Eat the scones warm for maximum enjoyment.

Steps:
- Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, black pepper and salt, and stir to combine. Add the butter to the bowl and toss to coat the cubes in the flour.
- Use your fingers to smash each cube of butter into a flat sheet, tossing to coat in flour and break up the butter a bit as you go. You will have some flat pea-size pieces of butter, and some will be worked into the flour completely. Add the cheese, walnuts and chives, and toss to combine.
- Make a well in the center of the butter and flour mixture, and add the buttermilk. Very gently stir until just combined and shaggy, but don't overmix. If the mixture seems very dry, add another tablespoon or two of buttermilk. If the mixture seems very wet, add a tablespoon or two of flour.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the rectangle in half, then shape it into an 8-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 equal triangular wedges, and carefully transfer them to the baking sheet; they will be fragile. Brush the tops of the scones with the dregs of buttermilk left in the measuring cup (add a little more if necessary), then sprinkle the scones with flaky salt and more pepper.
- Bake the scones until golden brown, 19 to 23 minutes. These are best the day they are made, but will last a day or two on the counter in an airtight container. Alternatively, let them cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to a month. In either instance, warm before serving.

Steps:
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in the butter and cheese. Stir in the pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a rack on the upper-middle level. Grease a heavy baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Gently stir enough buttermilk or yogurt into the flour mixture to make a soft, sticky dough. Gather the dough into a ball with your hands. On a well-floured surface, roll or pat the dough into an 12-x-8-inch rectangle approximately 3/4 inch thick. Try not to handle the dough too much, and don't worry if it looks rough.
- Using a large spatula or a couple of spatulas, transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Use a dough scraper or knife to cut the dough into 40 squares, each 1 1/2 inches. Separate the squares slightly on the baking sheet. Brush each square with a little milk. (Or cut circles out of the dough with the rim of a glass or a biscuit cutter and transfer them to the baking sheet.)
- Bake the scones for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are brown on the bottom and very lightly brown on top. Don't overbake; break one open to test for doneness. Transfer to cooling racks to cool briefly and then serve as soon as possible.
- To serve: The scones are still good when cool, but they are best when just out of the oven. Butter and scrambled eggs are appropriate accompaniments.
Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter is essential for creating flaky scones. When the butter is cold, it creates small pockets of steam as it melts in the oven, which helps the scones to rise and become light and fluffy.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop. Overworking the dough will also make it difficult for the scones to rise.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps to develop the flavor and makes the scones easier to handle. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Bake the scones at a high temperature: Baking the scones at a high temperature helps to create a crispy exterior and a light and fluffy interior. The scones should be baked at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm, when they are fresh out of the oven. You can serve them with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
Conclusion:
Black pepper and onion scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. With their flaky texture, savory flavor, and crispy exterior, these scones are sure to become a favorite in your home.
